Krisna Kant Gautam et al./ Indian Journal of Computer Science and Engineering (IJCSE)5.2 Structure of the Fault Diagnosis SystemThe fuzzy expert system structure is shown in Fig. 2. Its database contains the power system topology, and thestatus of all breakers and protective relays after the fault.ONLINE DATA FROM POWER STATIONDispatcherinter faceDatabaseFault NetworkIdentificationKnowledge baseHypothesis andcalculationsInference EngineFault DetectionFIG 2 Fuzzy expert system structureThe knowledge base of the fuzzy expert system contains all the data of the protection system. The information isbased on known statistics of protection performance used in the system. If these data are not available when afault occurs, the fuzzy expert system asks the dispatcher to provide them and then saves them in the database forfuture use. Models for estimation of possible faults, and heuristic rules about the relay characteristics for actualfault determination are also included here.5.3 Island IdentificationWhen a fault occurs in a power system, the relays corresponding to the fault sections should trip the circuitbreakers to isolate the fault sections from being extended. Thus the power system is separated into several partsnamed sub networks after the operation of protective relays and circuit breakers. Generally, only a fewsubsections are formed from the faults. Since the fault sections are confined to these sub networks, Themagnitude of the problem can be reduced greatly. An expert system is developed to identify the island by usingthe real-time information of circuit breakers and adopting the real-time network topology determination method[17]. The framework of this efficient method is described asfollows:Initializing the network: The expert system identifies the power system pre-fault status as the normaloperation state by using the real-time network topology determination method [17]. When a faultoccurs, the power system status would be changed by the operation of relays and circuit breakers.Healthy sub network identification: The next step is to identify the network topology of the healthy partof the post-fault power system by using the real-time network topology determination method [18]. Thehealthy sub network is called set Shealthy.Island identification: By comparing the initial network topology with the healthy subnetwork topology,the differences between them are identified as the island. This sub network is called Sisland. Thismethod was proven in a case study that consists of 43 substations, 523 sections, 412 circuit breakers,107 busbar, 23 three-winding transformers and 77 transmission. The simulating results are quitesatisfactory [17]. The required processing time to identify the island is less than 2 seconds in a 486micro-computer in all the simulated cases.5.4 Fault Section IdentificationWhen a fault occurs, the change in breaker status activates the fuzzy expert system. It then classifies thebreakers into two sets: no-trip status set and tripped status set. a fault hypothesis Fi is formed as follows:ISSN : 0976-5166 Vol. 2 No. 4 Aug -Sep 2011 557
Krisna Kant Gautam et al./ Indian Journal of Computer Science and Engineering (IJCSE)--------- (1)-----------(2)---------(3)where Ci is one of the possible fault sections being considered; Pfault is the fuzzy set which contain all thepossible fault sections and their membership functions; Fi(CB) is the fuzzy subset by considering only thetripped circuit breakers; Fi(RL) is the fuzzy subset by considering only the operated relays.5.5. ConclusionGenerally, a conventional rule-based expert system for bulk power system needs several hundreds of rules. It istime consuming in inference procedures to search for suitable rules during inferencing. On the other hand, fuzzyset based expert systems tend to be much faster compared to traditional rule-based expert systems for most ofthe rules are replaced by the calculation of the membership functions of the applicable rules . Only a few rulesor functions are used in the inference engine. The fuzzy set approach for uncertainty processing in expertsystems offers many advantages to compared other approaches to deal with uncertainty.Small memory space and computer time: The knowledge base is very small because there are only a few rulesneeded during inference. The computationtime is therefore also small.o Small number of rules: With properly designed linguistic variables and level of granularity,only a few fuzzy rules are needed for each situation.o Flexibility of the system: Membership functions representing the parameters can be changeddynamically according to the situation. It is also possible to develop a self-learning modulethat modifies the grades of membership automatically according to changing situations.5.6 References[1] T. S. Dillon and M. A.
